Runalong333:

Thanks for your concern.iam not asking about visa requirements but what life is like over there compared to Lagos.can I easily get a job as a graduate or what business can I do.

You are relocating next month? And you still need info about the place ?. Sister be careful.

Runalong333:

My husband was just transferred. I'm looking out for myself.pls if you know anything about the city that will help us adapt ,pls share.Thanks

Ok, but I would think these are things you researched a long time ago before making the decision to move in the first place .

Best of luck my lady.

opejole:
pls how do u guys in Francophone countries cope without French

Okezedan:
kenya does not have cönstant power. You can ask anyone staying there.

bedspread:
Tz also has very Constant power.. Life is cool here Especially if u here for a honest purpose

bedspread:
If u are privileged to visit some of these African Nations u will understand that Nigeria is cursed with Wicked and Wrong Leadership...

A Lot of these Nations Hv gone beyond Power issues... u hardly see power go off..

I hv visited Nairobi , Tazania and Ethiopia...

As Poor as Tazania is, You hardly see power Go off... I remember my first time der I traveled with a Torch light thinking it was Lagos, Nigeria... Only for my host to Laugh seriously at me.....

A visit to Zanzibar, Tazania and you will feel u re in the USA or Europe...

Great 5 star Hotels and very Affordable

I've been in Benin since February and I still haven't unpacked the torchlight and lamp I brought from Nigeria. I don't know where we are going to in Nigeria. It is so sad

Ugosample:


Okay o

Ease of doing business in Nigeria is much more difficult

Many of my cousins, or will i call them my people, who are learning work are taking their settlement to other African countries to establish

The only thing that should make you leave for another African country is


If you have already been offered a high paying job in a good corporation

or


If you are business savvy and have enough capital to push it through


Nigeria is not just worth it at the moment

I'm with you bro, but you see, everything should be done prayerfully & proper consideration. Please folks should consider some of these things before relocating:

1. Relocating overseas should not be just because of your poor condition. Even if you're very comfortable but don't like the state of the country, pls move. There was someone close to me who was earning on average 6 million Naira a month in Nigeria, and he felt very rich & saw no reason in living overseas, but I always told him his narrow minded views were because he had never left Nigeria. The following year he visited the US, & came back screaming about what he had missed all his life. That same year he visited the US again, came back and visited Canada also. As I speak with you he had relocated to the US with his family.

2. I have noticed that many people relocate outside the country to start running jobs they wouldn't go near in Nigeria, you know why? It's because there's nothing to be ashamed of in another man's country. My honest advise to such people is that if you're based in Lagos and ashamed to start a certain kind of SME, why not go to Abuja or Calabar or Osogbo where no one knows you.

3. What are your life priorities? Are you seeking a place wey be say women wey them problem dey for them back go dey love you just cos u be Nigerian, then go to Kenya & Rwanda, you would never waste your time on Lagos girls again. Every where you go in Kenya it's bumbum & waist left, right & centre. So your East African wife is most likely gonna be more dark skinned, beautiful, humble & loving than your Nigerian wife. But then I think there is a large number of very beautiful women in Eastern Nigeria also.

4. Don't be desperate, do your research very well. This will help you avoid regrets.

5. Think about the future. Is that country going to be a stepping stone or your final destination, because if you start a business somewhere, you are likely to stay there for a very long time. So is that country worth the next 20 years? If not, have a rethink.

6. I don't blame people saying if they relocate they don't want to ever hear about Nigeria again, na the shit wey plenty for Naija cause am. But think about your future status in the countries available to you. It's very difficult to be a citizen in Kenya, even with marriage. It's easy in Botswana, but no dual citizenship so you have to renounce Nigeria. You can never become a citizen in UAE even if you live there for 40 years, I've been to UAE twice & as much as I love Dubai I won't want to relocate there. I strongly urge you not to relocate to a country where you can never become a citizen.

7. Don't trust everything you read on forums, including this my long sermon . Everybody's case is different. What is good for me might be bad for you & vice versa.

8. Despite the fact that I plan to relocate to another country. I do not hate Nigeria. Trust me I have lost a lot in this country: I've lost a lot of money, I've lost in business, I've lost in love & emotions, I've lost someone very dear to me because of the evil hearts of folks here. You see, if you wear the garment of your hatred for your people & country, it would follow you everywhere you go. It's one of the reasons there are unsuccessful immigrants in places like Canada & the US. Your attitude determines your altitude.

9. As much as you might not believe in God, be open minded, and he will guide you.

10. Don't forget n* 9.

macbernard:
lol sorry about the waste of space in your travelling bag

Ugosample:


some real stuff you typed there.


Life no dey Nigeria to me


After accumulating so much money, what next?

very few fun things for your kids to do

Always watching over your shoulders for "men of the underworld" etc


Life is really to be enjoyed, not endured mehn.

Iammercy2018:
and some of them are spoiling the name of Nigeria out there, not trying to discredit Igbos, no doubt they work hard but I've just stated the obvious truth, most of them are spoiling our name outside of Nigeria..

I've been to almost 20 out of the 53 countries in Africa, in each country when I introduce myself as a Nigerian there will be one person to tell me a story about a Nigerian guy around that neighborhood that has done something bad and the names that pops up are names from the East.
it's sad.

drlateef:
My Ugandan friend tells me that they cannot let their children play outside because of Yahoo and other get rich quick boys.........and they are all Nigerians. They have given us bad names everywhere.

Rexnegro:

imagine why always them out there ? like peak milk its in them ehn

Ugosample:


I'll tell you this
it pains my heart to tell you this as well, because I'm an Igbo petson , but it's the truth


Our society glamourises and glorifies wealth tooo much, and puts excess pressure on the boys to "make it"

That's the problem

Rexnegro:
I agree with u bro ... too bad tho

A Yoruba guy is not under any pressure to build a house in the village

A Hausa guy does not even give a Bleep (on average)

But am Igbo guy

The gbese on his head is too much

Good day, i am fed up living in this country, especially living a life far below average, how much will it cost to travel to Rwanda by road and also by plane, presently i teach and i am also learning laptop engeering

Chuksmonika:
Nigeria is finished my brother,if you see chance,abeg run comot 9ja oo..me too am planning on my escape route out of dis country,and i believe God Almighty will help me to leave,though am luking at dubai for nw

Grupo:


Better look for a better country if you want to leave this country. One of my friends traveled to Dubai last year and ran back complaining there were no jobs. Unless you are ready to do factory jobs, then go to Dubai. In fact, I was the one who sent my friend the 100k he used to complete his air fare back to naija. He has not even paid me the money up to this moment and he's planning on still moving to Canada or those other western countries.

Make your enquiries before moving to Dubai
